Go HERE for more photos by MARK BYRON and TAG YOURSELF and YOUR FRIENDS!

Monday night, Time Out New York hosted their annual Eat Out Awards and Mark was the official photographer.  The setting, the village's Le Poisson Rouge made for some interesting stage acts. (How much do you think was actually spent on those fans?)  "The People's Choice to James Beards' Oscar, what these awards lack in prestige and excellent food, they make up for in egalitarian (though admittedly local) representation, more hooting, hollering, and the general screaming of chefs names (Ryan Skeen's fans were particularly vocal), and an appreciation of the little guy." (Eater)
